Order Of Saint John
The Order of Saint John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, is a medieval Catholic military order founded in the 11th century. Initially established to provide care for sick and injured pilgrims in the Holy Land, the order evolved into a military force during the Crusades, protecting Christians and their territories.
Over the centuries, the order expanded its influence and established a network of hospitals and fortifications. Today, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta is a modern successor, focusing on humanitarian efforts and medical assistance worldwide, while preserving its historical traditions and values.
